Standard Cannulation versus Fistulotomy for Biliary Access in Endoscopic Retrog...
Moreira,Marta; Tarrio,Isabel; Andrade,Alda João; Araújo,Tarcísio; Fernandes,João Sousa Silva; Canena,Jorge; Lopes,LuísAbstract Introduction: To access the common bile duct in endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), needle-knife fistulotomy (NKF) can be associated with a shorter sphincterotomy compared to standard cannulation.
